What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Darklands (Video game)

It came out in 1992. Set in the 15th century Holy Roman Empire / Germany. It's a 4-character party isometric game that featuring real time combat, party members who aged and would die from old age, perma death, and fantastical elements based on historic folklore, Catholic saints, and alchemy.

Wow sounds super interesting. A bit like a precursor to Diablo?

It's an open world RPG with a main quest. Games like Dragon Age: Origins or Baldur's Gate and whatnot are probably more similar. GoG has it for $7 configured in a DosBox.

Nofair Fight has a let's play of it
